#Do i need to create boot partition full
To use the full 11GB you'll need either a BIOS update.or DDO (Dynamic Drive Overlay).suggest you forget about the 3GB for now It's a BIOS limitation that it can't see over 8.4 GB - or around that #. When I do choice 4, it says:(in a different fasion) Create DOS partition or logical DOS drive for some reason fdisk worked randomly today. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create an MS-DOS boot partition to set up windows."Ĭhange of plans. Then i get the message that i posted earlier: I have been using a packard bell boot floppy that came with it, because thats the only thing that gets me to the MS-DOS prompt. When i boot it from just the CDROM and the win98 cd in, it goes from the bios screen to a screen that says "loading OS." and a couple of seconds later it says something like "Please instert bootable media into the appropriate drives". I reformatted it on my other computer because there was a password on it that I couldnt get passed, since the computer was given to me. The original one that was in it is a 7200rpm 1.86gig. I formatted it before i took it out of the dell. The one hard drive that im trying to use in it is a little over 11 gigs (not sure) thats from an older dell. its just funny that its a Packard Bell and its really old
